Background and History

Previous Lives

Chu Yao remembers three lives. In her first, she was an overworked office employee who read the Harry Potter novels. In her second, she spent more than a thousand years on the demonic path, became a Mahayana cultivator, and ruled as its supreme authority. She remembers her junior sister Meng Chanyi as the strategist who complemented her own preference for fighting 1 3 13 14 24.

Her current life places her among the sword cultivators of Mount Kunlun. Although her cultivation is far below its former height, she retains extensive experience in combat, alchemy, artifact refining, and the use of divine sense 1 22 24 32.

Hogwarts Invitation

After sneaking away to Hong Kong for Heavenly King Li’s concert, Chu Yao is summoned back to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Chu Wushuang intercepts her attempt to visit the dining hall and takes her to meet Chu Kuangren and their guest. Recognizing Albus Dumbledore, Chu Yao realizes that her current world is the setting of Harry Potter 1 2 3.

Minister Li specifically selects her for an Eastern–Western magical exchange, and Dumbledore personally delivers her Hogwarts acceptance letter. During their meeting, she also binds the Myriad Worlds Trading Group system, regarding it as another means of survival 4 5 6.

Her lack of English initially causes concern. By late July, however, she has used her powerful divine sense to learn the language and speak fluently with a London accent. Snape then arrives to escort her to Britain. Before leaving, she bows to the apparently empty sect grounds and bids farewell to the elders and disciples secretly watching her departure 13 24 27.

Cross-Plane Trading and Diagon Alley

Chu Yao joins Myriad Worlds Trading Group 10001 and wins its luckiest red-envelope draw, receiving both a storage ring and ownership of the group. She subsequently begins selling cultivation pills for gold 17 18 21 22.

Her first completed transactions are:

Buyer Item Sold Payment System Points
Abyss Lord Marrow Cleansing Pill 500 kilograms of gold 350 22
Everything Can Be Bought Foundation Establishment Pill 450 kilograms of gold 300 22

In London, she discovers that Galleons contain Geng Metal, an exceptionally valuable flying-sword material. She exchanges an initial fifty kilograms of gold for 25,000 Galleons, then sells another nine hundred kilograms for 450,000 more. Rather than treating the coins solely as money, she plans to extract their Geng Metal for future sword upgrades 31 32 33.

At Ollivander’s, she acquires an unusual wand that resonates with her Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Her system later identifies it as an “Elder Wand (fake).” Concerned that Ollivander has reported the purchase to Dumbledore, she begins planning how to maintain her harmless-student persona under the headmaster’s scrutiny 37 38 40 41.

While staying at a luxury London hotel, she refines and sells more Marrow Cleansing Pills for over three tons of gold. Using an illusion disguise and a concealed teleportation anchor, she returns to Gringotts and exchanges three tons for additional Galleons 40.

Journey to Hogwarts

Chu Yao befriends Harry Potter during school shopping and later helps him reach Platform 9¾. On the Hogwarts Express, she shares a compartment with Harry and Ron, explains Eastern cultivation, and offers to teach Harry swordsmanship. She also helps Neville locate his missing toad, attracting Hermione’s interest in wandless Eastern spells 35 42 43 44 47.

Despite recognizing the significance of Ron’s rat, Scabbers, she chooses not to expose him immediately. She considers knowledge of the original story a valuable advantage and avoids disrupting its course without a compelling reason 48.

During the first-years’ lake crossing, she secretly feeds spiritual power into her boat’s magical patterns, sending it racing ahead. McGonagall finds no lasting alteration and cannot establish grounds to punish her. By the end of the available account, Chu Yao is waiting at the castle entrance with the other students 49 50.

Appearance

  • Features: Fair skin, delicate facial features, long black hair, and round, bright eyes described as resembling obsidian. Her eyes curve into crescents when she smiles 25 35.
  • Usual clothing: Eastern sect robes before changing into black Hogwarts school robes 3 39 48.
  • King’s Cross outfit: An elegant side braid, sunhat, vintage sunglasses, and a Chanel chain bag, chosen to resemble an ordinary wealthy Muggle child 41.

Personality

Chu Yao’s outward innocence conceals an experienced and calculating survivor. She deliberately adopts a sweet, obedient manner around authority figures, particularly Dumbledore and Snape, while privately criticizing them or considering how to avoid their scrutiny 4 6 26 41.

Her former life has made her deeply cautious about trust. Although she recognizes the sect’s genuine affection, she refuses to make her safety dependent on anyone’s goodwill. Personal strength, defensive preparations, and vigilance remain central to her thinking 14 15.

Food is one of her strongest enthusiasms, especially Martial Uncle Zhang’s cooking. His meals can immediately dispel her bad mood, while British sweets and ordinary Western meals leave her longing for home. Her affection for the sect is sincere: she is moved by its members’ care and becomes visibly emotional when departing 2 10 27 45.

She is also mischievous and impatient with slow travel, as demonstrated by her unauthorized boat acceleration. Her willingness to help is selective rather than indiscriminate: she assists Neville and reassures Harry, but consciously avoids unnecessary involvement in other people’s fates 35 47 48 49.

Abilities and Skills

Sword Cultivation and Combat

Her current practice centers on the sword, supported by an Innate Sword Physique and combat instincts retained from her former life 3 4 44.

  • Raises a spiritual-energy shield against heavy rain 1.
  • Draws lightning onto her body with a Thunderstorm Talisman for tempering 1.
  • Reacts instinctively to a sudden projectile before consciously identifying it 3.
  • Maintains a daily seated-cultivation routine despite the world’s sparse spiritual energy 23 24.

Divine Sense

Her unusually powerful divine sense comes from her former Mahayana cultivation 24.

  • Accelerates language learning, allowing her to acquire fluent English in a short period 24.
  • Detects Geng Metal within Galleons and examines a boat’s internal magical patterns 32 49.
  • Extends spiritual-sense pressure through Ollivander’s shop while seeking a compatible wand 36.
  • Collects large quantities of coins into her storage ring 33.

Alchemy and Artifact Refining

Chu Yao retains both alchemical knowledge and the instincts of a master artifact refiner 22 32.

  • Produces Marrow Cleansing Pills for cross-plane sale 40.
  • Trades Foundation Establishment Pills, which are of little use to her at her current realm 21 22.
  • Identifies Geng Metal as a material that improves spiritual-energy conduction and flying-sword toughness 32.
  • Plans to extract the metal from Galleons; a completed sword upgrade is not documented 33 40.

Utility Spells and Concealment

Her Eastern techniques frequently surprise young wizards because they require neither a wand nor an audible incantation 46 47.

  • Freshening Spell: Sends a cleaning ripple through the Leaky Cauldron, removing accumulated grime and odors 28 29.
  • Tracking spell: Creates a glowing directional arrow visible to Neville, guiding him toward his lost toad 47.

  • Temporarily improves a boat’s energy flow and propulsion without damaging its magical patterns 49.
  • Leaves no permanent modification for McGonagall to discover after the infused power dissipates 50.

Trading-Group Authority

As owner of Myriad Worlds Trading Group 10001, she possesses administrative and commercial privileges distinct from her cultivation 19.

  • Mutes members, with the permitted duration increasing alongside her owner level.
  • Terminates illegal or abnormal transactions and takes a 10% arbitration fee.
  • Expels members who threaten the group; expelled members permanently lose their trader qualification.

  • Can claim one random daily gift pack and initiate one group mission per month.
  • Can expand the public warehouse using group points or specified resources and charge storage-management fees 19.

Equipment and Items

  • Lifebound flying sword — Her weapon and means of aerial travel; intended to receive future Geng Metal upgrades 1 33.
  • Ten Thousand Souls Banner — A soul-bound treasure resting in her sea of consciousness, marked by black aura and shadowy, wailing souls. She keeps it dormant because of legal restrictions and concern over this world’s Heavenly Dao 23 24.
  • Imitation Elder Wand — Made from elder wood, Thestral tail hair, and dragon heartstring. It resonates with the banner through an apparent connection to death or souls; the system labels it “Elder Wand (fake)” 37 38 40.
  • Storage ring — A 1,000-cubic-meter reward from the group’s red envelope, used for luggage, potions, and large quantities of currency 18 29 33 42.
  • Defensive array disc — Provides all-around defense, concealment, and soundproofing for her courtyard and cave abode, at a substantial spirit-stone cost 14.
  • Thunderstorm Talisman — Summons storm activity and lightning used during body tempering 1.
  • Snape’s potion — Retained rather than consumed; she instead treats her nausea by circulating spiritual power 29.
  • School supplies — Include first-year textbooks, an owl, and a brass cauldron 34.

Relationships

  • Chu Kuangren — Master. Scolds her unruly behavior but openly dotes on her and worries about her year abroad 3 5 11 27.
  • Chu Wushuang — Eldest senior sister. Her strictest disciplinarian and one of her fiercest protectors 2 14.
  • Chu Yunfei — Third senior brother. Cheerfully shares news of special meals and worries that she will struggle with British food 2 11.
  • Martial Uncle Zhang — Sect food cultivator and her favorite cook. Remembers her preferred dishes and packs pastries for her departure 2 10 27.
  • Meng Chanyi — Junior sister from her previous life. Chu Yao misses their partnership, in which Meng handled schemes while she handled combat 1.
  • Albus Dumbledore — Delivers her acceptance letter. His perceptiveness makes her anxious about concealing her demonic background and unusual wand 6 40 41.
  • Severus Snape — Escort to Britain and school-supply shopping guide. She counters his unfavorable first impression with exaggerated diligence and politeness 25 26 28 34.
  • Harry Potter — New friend. She rejects the expectation that he should bear adult responsibilities and offers to teach him swordsmanship 35 44.
  • Ron Weasley — Train-compartment companion, fascinated by her storage methods, sword cultivation, and wandless techniques 43 44 46.
  • Hermione Granger — Becomes interested in her Eastern spells after the toad search; Chu Yao’s compliment leaves her blushing 47.
  • Neville Longbottom — Receives her help finding his lost toad 47.

Notable Quotes

“A small fry should know her place. It isn't time to go head-to-head with the rules of the whole world yet.” 1

“There's no reason for a child like me, or a child like you, to charge into battle and shoulder so much.” 35

Trivia

  • Her username results from more than an hour of rejected alternatives, including “Heaven’s chosen daughter,” “Supreme of the demonic path,” and “Above the nine heavens” 16 17.
  • Both Snape and McGonagall independently suspect that her behavior marks her as a future Gryffindor; neither judgment constitutes a documented Sorting result 25 50.
  • She imagines transforming the Ten Thousand Souls Banner into a meritorious “Human Emperor Banner,” but this remains a fantasy rather than an achieved evolution 23 24.
